STORY Jug

$90.00

This jug is one of Keiko’s STORY series. The story of Moon & Window is drawn with broken Japanese KANJI of ‘窓'(Window). Most KANJI letters are pictorial symbol for a word, they may contain other words in them. In this work, one of the components of ‘窓‘(Window) is 心 (Heart, Mind, and Spirit). All components are cryptically drawn and they are quite abstract.

Drawing A ladder to the moon, stardust around the moon, x-shaped stars and square windows, are all in a constant interplay with deconstructed and reconstructed KANJI .
I combine Japanese KANJI characters with my drawing out of appreciation for this complex language, that integrates philosophy, and encourages visual art.

“I am fascinated with how KANJI can consists meaning, philosophy and history. It is an art form for me and very visually poetic.”

This large size jug will be a good use for milk, dressing, or gravy sauce. I made it ‘slightly’ heavy so that it is stable & is comfortable to wash for everyday use.

This is an one-off piece. Each piece’s got different drawings, however they all have Moon & Window, stars, and ladder. Food safe glaze applied inside the jug. The outside is unglazed so that you can feel the iron speckles & slight roughness of textured slip on surface.

Price is for 1 Jug only.

No Oven/Microwave.

Hand-wash recommended.

NOTE: Due to the handmade process, all pieces will vary slightly in glaze and size.
